The non profit organization also helps pay for food and medical costs of retired K-9s.

Money from Friday's bake sale will be used to help pay for Yaro's retirement, including a replacement K-9.

The bake sale was organized by Andrijana Krslovic, who attended Tonn's memorial service and hopes to one day be an officer.

"I just really wanted to bring the community together to celebrate his life and to also celebrate these wonderful K-9 dogs that do so much to help our community," said Krslovic.

Tonn and Yaro lived with Tonn's cousin, Jarret Tonn, who is also a Galt police officer.

Yaro will continue to live with the family after retirement.

Yaro was brought to the bake sale by Tonn's co-worker and K-9 handler officer Brian Nino, who was overwhelmed by the turnout.

"As a law enforcement family, our own families, to see people coming out on their own time; they don't know us, they didn't know Kevin but they truly love the profession and they appreciate what we do. It's nice to see that. It doesn't happen on a daily basis, but it does help us get through this," said Nino.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
